Wifi auto-connection issues

I recently purchased a Blackberry Z10 and am very happy with it, however there seems to be a bug with my wifi. Whenever I'm at home and select my home wifi it connects and works perfectly fine, however, every day when I leave for work my wifi list is still populated by my home networks, and it still shows my wifi as being connected even when I'm miles out of range of my router. It doesn't show the actual wifi networks near me until I turn on and off my wifi. After I do that, it automatically connects to my saved networks like it should, however, it has the same problem everywhere I go. It only shows the wifi networks of the last place I turned my wifi on and off, even if I'm nowhere near those networks.

This is becoming really annoying and I can't fix it no matter which settings I change. I'm worried I'm going to rack up a massive phone bill from data usage because I tend to use my phone data when I should be connected to wifi, but apparently it hasn't been autmatically connecting to wifi like it should.

Re: Wifi auto-connection issues

The BlackBerry Z10 smartphone should disconnect from the local Wifi Network once you have become out of range. If you have connected to a Wifi Network and saved it the BlackBerry Z10 smartphone should connect right away. If the Wifi Network settings have not changed there normally should be no issue connecting once you enter the Wifi Network signal range.

How long has the BlackBerry Z10 smartphone be experiencing this issue?

The next steps I would take in order to help resolve the issue you are having are to reload the BlackBerry Z10 smartphone device software. Once the reload is complete I would then recommend testing the issue without restoring data. The issue could be related to the current configuration and data on the BlackBerry Z10 smartphone.

1.On your computer, open BlackBerry Link.2.Connect your device to your computer using a USB cable.3.At the bottom of the screen, click your device.4.Click the Settings icon. In the Settings view, in the left pane, click Back Up Now.

Note: You can select data to include in your backup files by selecting specific data in the Settings view.

Alternatively, the following steps can also be performed:

1.To back up your device data, you can also click beside your device at the bottom of your screen. Click Back Up.

Re: Wifi auto-connection issues

I am now on my second blackberry Z10 because of wifi issues and this one is the same. I have no data on this one yet. When setting up it updated itself to the latest software. It connected easily and quickly to my office wifi. Last night though it took hours before it recognised my home wifi. Once connected, then it was fast. When I move to any other wifi, it is slow to find them. When I came to the office this morning, it does not connect automatically to my office wifi that I saved yesterday. I have to click on it.

Any help would be appreciated.
